Since the beginning, the ice cream show us their royal nature: early references include the roman emperor who ordered ice to be brought from the mountains and combined with fruit toppings, and King Tang of Shang, China who had a method of creating ice and milk concoctions. Then, our ingredient traveled to Europe, when it was served in the fashionable Italian and French royal courts. Finally, it arrived to America, to United States. In this country, the ice cream was very close to several famous people, like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.
